To the Editor:

On June 16th, 2012, my family received the news that all families pray never to hear. On that evening my dad, Chris Elicier, passed away after his car was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He was a lifelong resident of Wareham and also a graduate of Wareham High School's Class of 1987. My dad was a fun, happy, and caring man who greeted everyone he would meet with a big smile. He was always willing to lend a hand or give support to those in need in any way he could. Through the donations from family and friends we wish to continue to honor his memory by giving these two hard working, determined young students the Chris Elicier Memorial Scholarship.

It is my honor to present the first annual scholarship to Amber Filkins and Elizabeth Lindquist, on behalf of my dad we want to wish you both the best of luck. Congratulations to both of you.
